Thanks for your inquiry about registering a domain under the ER top level domain. The current policy is that domain names are limited to businesses or persons actually in Eritrea and application for a domain name must be made to Zerai. currently there are only two domains under `.com.er', a single `.edu.er' domain, and a bunch of `.gov.er' domains. there are actually over 100 subdomains under these domains, but domains directly underneath ER are fairly tightly controlled. To register new domain names under ER, you must talk to the administrative contact. Here is the contact information: Zerai Araham E.I.S.A. Government Building Asmara, 1141 ERITREA Tel: (++291) 1-114.480 FAX: (++291) 1-120.650 Email: teweldeg@GEMEL.COM.ER Eritrea does not yet have a direct internet connection. domain names are currently being used for the delivery of email. For more information about the domain look at http://www.punchdown.org/rvb/email/index.html thanks, craig harmer technical contact ER top level domain
